Danny Wilkinson, one of six brokers cleared of rigging the key Libor benchmark rate, has returned to the City of London to help unearth potential wrongdoing among traders.

Wilkinson, who has not worked in financial services since leaving interdealer broker Icap — now TP Icap — as the Libor scandal unfolded in 2013, has been appointed market surveillance director at startup Raidne.
